Rear window roller broke, Had to have the door panel taken off and the window rolled up by hand. The window no longer rolls. If you were sitting in the car, It would be on the lefthand side.

Bought the car used and the window was open 1 inch only to find out that the regulator was faulty. Mechanic (whom I trust) says this is common in this car. Based on service record on CarFax,the rear window regulator was replaced at 35,000 miles.

The back regulators were both replaced along with the passengers before 55,000 miles by previous owner. I have now replaced the drivers at 70,000 miles for $390 Dec 2011.

Report #16Visitor, 2001 BMW 325i
I have 3 windows motor/actuator replaced at various times. First it was my rear passenger window that won't go up or down at 45K miles. Then it was my passenger side(front) window followed by the driver side window. All three window motor regulator was replaced and cost of repair was high. BMW should have a recall re these issues.
